-* Changes in Oort Gnus
+* Installation changes

 
 

-** Group Carbon Copy (GCC) quoting
+** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used No Gnus.

 
 

-To support groups that contains SPC and other weird characters, groups
-are quoted before they are placed in the Gcc: header.  This means
-variables such as `gnus-message-archive-group' should no longer
-contain quote characters to make groups containing SPC work.  Also, if
-you are using the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" (indicating Gcc into two
-groups) you must change it to return the list ("nnml:foo" "nnml:bar"),
-otherwise the Gcc: line will be quoted incorrectly.  Note that
-returning the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" was incorrect earlier, it
-just didn't generate any problems since it was inserted directly.
+If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
+release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading to
+this version.  In particular, you will probably want to remove the
+`~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are read
+from your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale marks file, where
+this release will store flags for nntp.  See a later entry for more
+information about nntp marks.  Note that downgrading isn't safe in
+general.

 
 

-** gnus-agent
+** Lisp files are now installed in `.../site-lisp/gnus/' by default.  It
+defaulted to `.../site-lisp/' formerly.  In addition to this, the new
+installer issues a warning if other Gnus installations which will shadow
+the latest one are detected.  You can then remove those shadows manually
+or remove them using `make remove-installed-shadows'.

 
 

-The Gnus Agent is now enabled by default, and all nntp and nnimap
-servers from gnus-select-method and gnus-secondary-select-method are
-agentized by default. Earlier only the server in gnus-select-method
-was agentized by the default, and the agent was disabled by default.
-When the agent is enabled, headers are now also retrieved from the
-Agent cache instead of the backends when possible. Earlier this only
-happened in the unplugged state.  You can enroll or remove servers
-with `J a' and `J r' in the server buffer.  Gnus will not download
-articles into the Agent cache, unless you instruct it to do so,
-though, by using `J u' or `J s' from the Group buffer.  You revert to
-the old behaviour of having the Agent disabled with `(setq gnus-agent
-nil)'.  Note that putting (gnus-agentize) in ~/.gnus is not needed any
-more.
-
-** gnus-summary-line-format
-
-The default value changed to "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n".
-Moreover gnus-extra-headers, nnmail-extra-headers and
-gnus-ignored-from-addresses changed their default so that the users
-name will be replaced by the recipient's name or the group name
-posting to for NNTP groups.
-
-** deuglify.el (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article)
-
-A new file from Raymond Scholz <rscholz@zonix.de> for deuglifying
-broken Outlook (Express) articles.
-
-** (require 'gnus-load)
-
-If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add (require
-'gnus-load) into your ~/.emacs after adding the Gnus lisp directory
-into load-path.
-
-File gnus-load.el contains autoload commands, functions and variables,
-some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen.
-
-** gnus-slave-unplugged
-
-A new command which starts gnus offline in slave mode.
-
-** message-insinuate-rmail
-
-Adding (message-insinuate-rmail) and (setq mail-user-agent
-'gnus-user-agent) in .emacs convinces RMAIL to compose, reply and
-forward messages in message-mode, where you can enjoy the power of
-MML.
-
-** message-minibuffer-local-map
-
-The line below enables BBDB in resending a message:
-
-(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [(tab)] 'bbdb-complete-name)
-
-** Externalize attachments.
-
-If gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments (or
-message-fcc-externalize-attachments) is non-nil, attach local files as
-external parts.
-
-Command gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip (bound to \C-o on MIME buttons)
-saves a part and replaces the part with an external one. It works only
-on back ends that support editing.
-
-** gnus-default-charset
-
-The default value is determined from the current-language-environment
-variable, instead of 'iso-8859-1. Also the ".*" item in
-gnus-group-charset-alist is removed.
-
-** gnus-posting-styles
-
-Add a new format of match like
-
-        ((header "to" "larsi.*org")
-         (Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
-
-The old format like the lines below is obsolete.
+\f
+* New packages and libraries within Gnus

 
 

-        (header "to" "larsi.*org"
-         (Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
+** Gnus includes the Emacs Lisp SASL library.

 
 

-** message-ignored-news-headers and message-ignored-mail-headers
+This provides a clean API to SASL mechanisms from within Emacs.  The
+user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier situation, include
+support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM.   *Note Emacs SASL: (sasl)Top.

 
 

-X-Draft-From and X-Gnus-Agent-Meta-Information have been added into
-these two variables. If you customized those, perhaps you need add
-those two headers too.
+** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default.

 
 

-** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged.
+The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, when
+the server supports it.

 
 

-If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists
-in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more.  (setq
-gnus-agent-cache nil) reverts to the old behavior.
+** Gnus includes a password cache mechanism in password.el.

 
 

-** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter.
+It is enabled by default (see `password-cache'), with a short timeout of
+16 seconds (see `password-cache-expiry').  If PGG is used as the PGP
+back end, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism.  Passwords
+for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism, after
+querying the user about whether to do so.

 
 

-On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'.  Decoding
-format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions.
+\f
+* Changes in summary and article mode

 
 

-** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests.
+** International host names (IDNA) can now be decoded inside article bodies
+using `W i' (`gnus-summary-idna-message').  This requires that GNU Libidn
+(`http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/') has been installed.

 
 

-This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode.
+** Gnus now displays DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode.

 
 

-** Gnus supports Maildir groups.
+** Gnus supports new limiting commands in the Summary buffer: `/ r'
+(`gnus-summary-limit-to-replied') and `/ R'
+(`gnus-summary-limit-to-recipient').  *Note Limiting::.

 
 

-Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el.
+** Gnus supports a new sort command in the Summary buffer: `C-c C-s C-t'
+(`gnus-summary-sort-by-recipient').  *Note Summary Sorting::.

 
 

-** Printing capabilities are enhanced.
+** S/MIME now features LDAP user certificate searches.  You need to
+configure the server in `smime-ldap-host-list'.

 
 

-Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article
-buffers.  Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on
-the MIME button.
+** URLs inside OpenPGP headers are retrieved and imported to your PGP key
+ring when you click on them.

 
 

-** Message supports the Importance: (RFC 2156) header.
+** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see
+`gnus-picon-style'.  *Note Picons::.

 
 

-In the message buffer, C-c C-f C-i or C-u cycles through the valid values.
+** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'.

 
 

-** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News.
+ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting
+articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences').

 
 

-This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is
-used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for
-cancelling/superseding).  The behaviour can be changed by customizing
-`message-insert-canlock'.
+** Gnus now MIME decodes articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" header.
+This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'.

 
 

-** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve.
+** `gnus-decay-scores' can be a regexp matching score files.  For example,
+set it to `\\.ADAPT\\'' and only adaptive score files will be decayed.
+ *Note Score Decays::.

 
 

-Sieve rules can be added as Group Parameters for groups, and the
-complete Sieve script is generated using `D g' from the Group buffer,
-and then uploaded to the server using `C-c C-l' in the generated Sieve
-buffer.  Search the online Gnus manual for "sieve", and see the new
-Sieve manual, for more information.
+** Strings prefixing to the `To' and `Newsgroup' headers in summary lines
+when using `gnus-ignored-from-addresses' can be customized with
+`gnus-summary-to-prefix' and `gnus-summary-newsgroup-prefix'.  *Note To
+From Newsgroups::.

 
 

-** Extended format specs.
+** You can replace MIME parts with external bodies.  See
+`gnus-mime-replace-part' and `gnus-article-replace-part'.  *Note MIME
+Commands::, *Note Using MIME::.

 
 

-Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into
-gnus-summary-line-format-alist.  Also, user defined extended format
-specs are supported.  The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;",
-which invokes function gnus-user-format-function-foo.  Because "&" is
-used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no
-longer supported.
+** The option `mm-fill-flowed' can be used to disable treatment of
+format=flowed messages.  Also, flowed text is disabled when sending
+inline PGP signed messages.  *Note Flowed text: (emacs-mime)Flowed text.

 
 

-** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten.

 
 

-It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new
-function filters out other articles.
+\f
+* Changes in Message mode

 
 

-** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
+** Gnus now supports the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam mechanism.  Use
+`(setq message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable.  *Note Hashcash::.

 
 

-This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to.  See
-`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and
-`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization.
+** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer.  See
+`mml-dnd-protocol-alist' and `mml-dnd-attach-options'.  *Note MIME:
+(message)MIME.

 
 

-** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups.
+** The option `message-yank-empty-prefix' now controls how empty lines are
+prefixed in cited text.  *Note Insertion Variables: (message)Insertion
+Variables.

 
 

-This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups
-separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks.  It also makes it
-possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing
-the .newsrc.eld file) within e.g. a department.  It works by storing
-the marks stored in .newsrc.eld in a per-group file ".marks" (for
-nnml) and "groupname.mrk" (for nnfolder, named "groupname").  If the
-nnml/nnfolder is moved to another machine, Gnus will automatically use
-the .marks or .mrk file instead of the information in .newsrc.eld.
-The new server variables `nnml-marks-is-evil' and
-`nnfolder-marks-is-evil' can be used to disable this feature.
+** Gnus uses narrowing to hide headers in Message buffers.  The
+`References' header is hidden by default.  To make all headers visible,
+use `(setq message-hidden-headers nil)'.  *Note Message Headers:
+(message)Message Headers.

 
 

-** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been
-renamed to "Gnus".
+\f
+* Changes in back ends

 
 

-** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to
-"Attachments".
+** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'.

 
 

-** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist.
+The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable
+`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (back end)
+variable `nntp-marks-is-evil'.  The advantage of this is that you can
+copy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus
+installation, and it will realize what articles you have read and
+marked.  The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data in
+`~/.newsrc.eld'.

 
 

-The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
-instead of real group names in 5.8.  Users who customize these
-variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
+** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files.  *Note
+RSS::.

 
 

-   ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
+** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported.

 
 

-** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP/MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and
-S/MIME (RFC 2630-2633).
+By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can
+customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'.

 
 

-** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
+** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text.  Non-ASCII group
+names for the `nnrss' groups are also supported.  *Note RSS::.

 
 

-** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
+** Retrieving mail with POP3 is supported over SSL/TLS and with StartTLS.

 
 

-This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
-`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
+** The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside `gzip' for
+compressed message files.  *Note Mail Spool::.

-* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
+* Appearance

 
 

-The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
-four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
-internationalization and mail-fetching.
+** The tool bar has been updated to use GNOME icons.  You can also
+customize the tool bar.  There's no documentation in the manual yet, but
+`M-x customize-apropos RET -tool-bar$' should get you started.  (Only
+for Emacs, not in XEmacs.)

 
 

-** The mail-fetching functions have changed.  See the manual for the
-many details.  In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
+** The tool bar icons are now (de)activated correctly in the group buffer,
+see the variable `gnus-group-update-tool-bar'.  Its default value
+depends on your Emacs version.

 
 

-If you used procmail like in
+** You can change the location of XEmacs' toolbars in Gnus buffers.  See
+`gnus-use-toolbar' and `message-use-toolbar'.

 
 

-(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
-(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
-(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
-(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")

 
 

-this now has changed to 
-
-(setq mail-sources
-      '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
-                  :suffix ".in")))
-
-More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
-Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
-
-** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader.  This affects many parts of
-Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands.  See the manual for details.
-
-** Gnus has also been multilingualized.  This also affects too
-many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
-
-** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
-called to position point.
-
-** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
-summary buffers and NOV files.
-
-** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed.  Instead, a number
-of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
+\f
+* Miscellaneous changes

 
 

-** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
-subtly different manner.
+** Having edited the select-method for the foreign server in the server
+buffer is immediately reflected to the subscription of the groups which
+use the server in question.  For instance, if you change
+`nntp-via-address' into `bar.example.com' from `foo.example.com', Gnus
+will connect to the news host by way of the intermediate host
+`bar.example.com' from next time.

 
 

-** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
-and nnultimate.  nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
-ever-changing layouts.
+** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.

 
 

-** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
